Things ‘well done’

When was the last time you had this uplifting feeling of accomplishment and awareness that you achieved some form ofperfection, or in simple words ‘did a good job’?

This could have been at work, school, home, when solving some difficult design problem, or simply sorting out some home duties. Or maybe you discovered something new, found a solution to a problem, improved or created something, optimized some process, got rid of some inefficiency, in other words made your life, home, friendship, project, product or even the world a bit better?

We believe such moments are a quintessence of happiness. That’s when your reality seems to flow, without distractions, in the right direction bringing this amazing feeling of fulfillment.

And now an experiment for you: next time you feel in this way, try to make a mental snapshot of that situation, try to memorize when and how it happened, what emotions and thoughts it triggered, also make a note or photo if possible. That snapshot will be your recipe and template for generating and attracting your future moments of happiness. Because happiness means action.

True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)
